Incarnation
What a mystery- this babe spoke eternity
Human flesh clothing God's Glory!
In all of history our only hope is His story
Undiminished deity and perfect humanity
Born to a virgin mother
Heaven and Earth touch one another!
Our very life has its birth
God incarnate came to this earth
Came to be the one of Worth
The lamb of our salvation
Love and mercy for our transformation
What a mystery- this babe spoke eternity
Human flesh clothing God's Glory!
In all of history our only hope is His story
God in an untouched womb- God in an unmarked tomb
Where one His presence sanctified
The other held him when He died
He was the substitution- justice's retribution
For on that night His life did not begin
And in that death His life did not end!
Our very life has its birth
God incarnate came to this earth
Came to be the one of Worth
For eternity future and eternity past
The saviour of the world is the first and the last!
What a mystery- this babe spoke eternity
Human flesh clothing God's Glory!
In all of history our only hope is His story...
